Seaflora’s Sea to Skin Mineral Sun Shield
– Why It’s Awesome!

Say goodbye to boring sunscreen. This is sun protection, re-imagined by the ocean.

Seaflora’s Sea to Skin Mineral Sun Shield is not an SPF product—but it is comparable to SPF 50. It’s a skin-loving powerhouse made with wild, hand-harvested seaweed and zinc oxide. Pyropia abbottiae, a red seaweed naturally packed with mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs)—nature’s own UV defense system. Add in reef-safe non-nano zinc oxide and you get broad-spectrum protection that shields skin from UVA and UVB rays—without harming coral reefs or marine life or your health.

Seaflora’s Mineral Sunscreen is Awesome:

• Hydrating + Nourishing – Vitamin E, seaweed antioxidants, and safflower oleosomes keep your skin glowing long after you apply.
• Silky, Non-Greasy Texture – No chalky white streaks. Just a smooth, lightweight feel that melts in effortlessly.
• Ocean + Earth Friendly – 100% reef-safe, cruelty-free, zero-waste, and made in Canada with local, traceable ingredients.
• This sunscreen doesn’t just protect—it hydrates like skincare, defends like a mineral shield, and smells lightly of soothing vanilla which literally makes it smell like marshmallows.

Why settle for chemical-laden sunscreens when you can wear the seaweed’s own armor?
Protect your skin. Protect the sea. Glow responsibly. ✨

Ingredient Breakdown: The Awesome Details

1. Aqua (and) Pyropia abbottiae Why it’s awesome: Instead of plain water, this is a whole wild seaweed infusion. Pyropia abbottiae (a red seaweed) is naturally rich in mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), which absorb harmful UV rays, protecting skin like a natural sunscreen. It’s also full of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins that nourish and hydrate skin.
2. Zinc Oxide (Non-Nano) Why it’s awesome: A reef-safe, mineral sunscreen filter that physically blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Non-nano means it sits on top of the skin instead of being absorbed, making it safer for people and the ocean.
3. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride Why it’s awesome: Derived from coconut oil and glycerin, it’s a lightweight, non-greasy emollient that makes sunscreen smooth to apply. It helps lock in moisture without clogging pores.
4. Glyceryl Isostearate Why it’s awesome: A natural emulsifier that keeps water and oils blended together. It also conditions the skin, leaving it soft and supple.
5. Polyhydroxystearic Acid Why it’s awesome: Works with zinc oxide to keep it evenly dispersed, preventing clumping or white streaks. It also helps give sunscreen a silky feel.
6. Cetyl Alcohol Why it’s awesome: Despite the word “alcohol,” it’s actually a fatty alcohol from plants that conditions skin, thickens the formula, and makes the sunscreen creamy instead of runny.
7. Stearyl Alcohol Why it’s awesome: Another fatty alcohol that adds structure and stability. It helps trap hydration in the skin and improves texture.
8. Ethylhexylglycerin (and) Phenethyl Alcohol Why it’s awesome: A gentle, natural preservative system that keeps the sunscreen safe and fresh without parabens. They also provide light skin-conditioning benefits.
9. Carthamus Tinctorius Oleosomes (Safflower Oleosomes) Why it’s awesome: Micro-droplets from safflower seeds that naturally release moisture and oils slowly over time. This makes sunscreen longer-lasting while boosting hydration.
10. Hydroxyethylcellulose Why it’s awesome: A plant-derived thickener that gives the sunscreen the right consistency and makes it easy to spread. It also provides a light, breathable film on the skin.
11. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) Why it’s awesome: A powerful antioxidant that helps protect against free radical damage from the sun. It also conditions skin and supports overall barrier health.
12. Citric Acid Why it’s awesome: A natural pH adjuster that keeps the formula skin-friendly and stable. It also has mild antioxidant properties.
13. Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract Why it’s awesome: Adds a subtle, natural scent while delivering antioxidant benefits. Vanilla is soothing, comforting, and helps balance the skin.
